This study presents validation and quality assessment of
Rasamanikya, a light, micro fine powder, prepared by processing Patra Haratala, in which powder of Shodhita Haratala (Orpiment- As2S3), sandwiched between two Abhraka (white mica)
sheets, is heated for a while to obtain a specific pharmaceutical preparation. Analysis of Rasamanikya was performed through
qualitative and quantitative analyses, besides some
physico-chemical analysis and other tests such as IR spectroscopy, Raman
spectroscopy, EDAX and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to
ensure the quality of drug.
